BODY OF 1 7-YEAR-OLD CLABA
STRAYER AND HOUSEKEEPER
FOUND FLOATING IN MAUME
. RIVER SUSPICION FOUL PLAY.
CHICAGO, July 12. A dispatch to the
Record-Herald , from , Toleda,''. 0 says
Following the supposed suicide of 17'
year-old Clara Strayer, in the Maumee
river' Monday, was the discovery yester
day of the body of Kate Winover, house
keeper lor the. girl's father, whom the
daughter looked upon as a step-mother,
floating in almost the same place as the
corpse of Miss Strayer, when drowned.
Mourners returning from the faneral of
Miss Strayer found the housekeeper's
body, Lincoln Strayer, the girl's father,
is a farmer, living near Grand Rapids,
Ohio, a few miles up the Maumee. . His
wife died when the- girl was a babe in
arms, and since that time Katie Winover
has been the family housekeeper, '
On the river bank this note was
found:
"I am buried in the old Maumee. I
am going to mother. Bood bye. Clara.".
A search then revealed the body.
Tuesday, there was found in almost the
same spot a note in an entirely different
handwriting which read:
"Dear papa, I want to bid you and all
the friends good bye. I expect to 'go
and live with mama ' for you know how
I, am treated by Katie. Your loving
daughter, Clara."
,,The two notes which experts say were
written by different persons and the
death of the Winovep woman, who might
have supplied the mystery, are puzzling
the police. The housekeeper disappeared
Tuesday night. ,

statement:
"At the depot I went to check myagrip
and when I came back I saw Esther
standing beside them at the counter,
seemingly looking for us. She looked
as if nothing was the matter. I said,
'Why, Esther!' She said, 'I just came
down to see you off.' Just then I mo
tioned for George, He came up and
spoke to her. She made the remark to
the matron that she wanted to see
George. George shook hands with her,
She said, 'I will walk out to the door
with you.' I and George walked ahead
talking, she dropped back and Fred
was by her side. Fred said to her, "Let
me carry your coat' She had the coat
on her arm and seemingly bad the gun
in her hand. She said 'AH right' and
like a flash shot him before we had time
to. even think,"
